Description: | A copper-alloy frame from a Medieval single-loop buckle.The frame is roughly D-shaped, with faceted top and bottom sides and an offset axis bar of rectangular section. At the centre of the expanded outer side is a recessed bar, around which would have been wrapped a sheet-metal roller (now-missing). The pin is missing.The piece measures 20.8mm long, 28.2mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The weight is 3.25g.Research into similar buckles from Meols, Cheshire, suggests that this form, with broad sheet-metal rollers, probably dates from the late 13th to early 14th centuries (Griffiths et al 2007: 90, nos. 554-558).
